Well, I believe that I was part of the luckier ones here in New Jersey (south jersey) since the Hurricane (can we really call what was more of a Nor'easter superstorm a hurricane?) blew in on Monday.
It felt like a really heavy rain storm. No, I didn't go out in it, but I did look outside when I could. My brother was on duty at the fire company that he volunteers with since there would be people out there in the storm that made poor choices. There were wires down and he did say that there were more than that. We also had blown transformers in the area. In that, my street surprisingly had power while the rest of the town was rather spotty.
The power company has been doing their best to get everything back up again, though I can still hear the generator of the ones of the various homes that still don't have power back humming. I am rather thankful that the only thing that went out on my home was the cable and internet, though I do remember just waiting on Monday for the power to go off, but all we had was a flickering of lights and the cable (and thus internet) going out.
With the power being out in town, my job has been on break for a while since where it is at does not have power. It's been the same with my brother.
Today, cable has returned, and I know that it is a silly thing to be thankful for, especially since not much has happened in my area, it just feels like normalcy has returned. I hope that normalcy returns for everyone here on the east coast soon because it is comforting.

I wish it were that easy for the more suburban areas like the city, which suffered heavier damage.
Glad to see that you're alright and that is good news about your dad.
*huggles*
I'm so glad that I have a fireplace.
You and the kidlet be safe as well.
*hugs*Glad you're ok n' stuff!
The temperature dropped quite a bit after Sandy, but in a way I'm glad because this is fall and we need a little chill.
Are there spots still without power up there? Also, are you ready for the Nor'easter?
I heard there was another storm possibly coming this way, but the local weather stations so far have said New Jersey is going to get it worse than NY/LI. They're predicting rain and some wind gusts for Wednesday and Thursday here. Of course, that's always subject to change. Whatever happens, be well and stay safe, blade.
